The basic reproductive ratio of Barbour's two-host schistosomiasis model with seasonal fluctuations [PDF]

, 2017
Motivated by the first mathematical model for schistosomiasis proposed by Macdonald and Barbour's classical schistosomiasis model tracking the dynamics of infected human population and infected snail hosts in a community, in our previous study, we ...

AUTOIMMUNITY IN SCHISTOSOMIASIS JAPONICA

The Kurume Medical Journal, 1966
Schistosomiasis japonica occurs in specific areas of Asia and is caused by an infection of Schistosoma japonicum. Immunohematological investigations of the significance of autoimmunity in general symptoms of schistosomiasis japonica have been performed with use of experimentally infected rabbits.

Schistosomiasis Chemotherapy, Chemoprevention, and Vaccines: History, Progress, and Priorities

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2024.
Schistosomiasis is a major human disease of public health importance. The goal is to provide an overview of the history and advancements in schistosomiasis chemotherapy, chemoprevention, and vaccine research. Praziquantel is effective against all species of schistosomiasis, but schistosomiasis prevalence has largely remained unaffected, due to ...

A novel immunodiagnostic assay to detect serum antibody response against selected soluble egg antigen fractions from Schistosoma japonicum. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis japonica remains a real threat to public health in China. The currently used immunodiagnostic assays are sensitive and have a certain degree of specificity, however, they all use complex crude antigens, are based on detection ...

Schistosome eggs stimulate reactive oxygen species production to enhance M2 macrophage differentiation and promote hepatic pathology in schistosomiasis.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease of public health concern. The most devastating pathology in schistosomiasis japonica and mansoni is mainly attributed to the egg-induced granulomatous response and secondary fibrosis in host liver, which ...

Praziquantel: its use in control of schistosomiasis in sub-Saharan Africa and current research needs [PDF]

, 2009
Treatment with praziquantel (PZQ) has become virtually the sole basis of schistosomiasis control in sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere, and the drug is reviewed here in the context of the increasing rate that it is being used for this purpose. Attention is
